As the NFL trade deadline nears, teams are scrambling to finalize deals, with many waiting until the last possible moment. The deadline is set for Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, and the rumor mill is churning with potential moves involving some of the league's top players.
Already, several notable players have been traded, including Quenton Nelson, DeForest Buckner, Jeffery Simmons, and Jacoby Brissett. However, the spotlight remains on stars like Jonathan Taylor and Brian Thomas Jr., who are expected to be the headline candidates as the deadline approaches.
Giants' Offer for Taylor Revealed
According to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, the New York Giants made a push for Jonathan Taylor, offering a second- and fifth-round pick. However, that offer was presented a couple of weeks ago and is no longer on the table. The Giants' interest in Taylor is clear, but they have a limit on what they're willing to give up.
Josh Downs Drawing Interest
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams interested in wide receiver Josh Downs. The likely asking price for Downs is a fourth-round pick. The Chiefs, in particular, are in dire need of a receiver to bolster their offense, which has been overly reliant on Kenneth Walker III this season.
Titans Unwilling to Trade Pollard
The Tennessee Titans are showing no willingness to trade running back Tony Pollard, according to reports. Pollard is in the final year of his contract and will become a free agent after the season, making the Titans' stance puzzling. At 1-7, it would seem logical for Tennessee to accumulate assets, but the team appears to be holding firm, perhaps to support the development of quarterback Cam Ward.
Derrick Henry Not Going Anywhere
Despite speculation that the Baltimore Ravens might trade Derrick Henry after a 4-1 start has devolved into a four-game losing streak, Jay Glazer reports that no such deal will happen at the deadline. The Ravens, who have been without Lamar Jackson, are likely to miss the playoffs, but Henry will remain in Baltimore.
Deadline Approaching
With the deadline just days away, teams have limited time to make impactful moves. After 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 10, rosters will be largely set for the stretch run, leaving waivers and free agency as the only remaining avenues for improvement until the offseason. The NFL world waits to see if any blockbuster trades will shock fans in the final hours.
